LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors say Coolio has been charged with cocaine possession.
The 45-year-old rapper, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey, also was charged Tuesday with battery stemming from his Friday arrest at Los Angeles International Airport. Authorities say he grabbed a screener’s arm to prevent a luggage search that turned up the drugs.
He was released on $10,000 bail and is scheduled for arraignment April 3. A message left for his manager, Susan Haber, was not immediately returned. He faces up to three years in prison if convicted. The Associated Press
